Ingredients
- ½ cup cold butter cut into chunks
- ½ teaspoon espresso powder
- ½ cup dark cocoa powder I used Hershey’s Special Dark
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 5 cups powdered sugar
- 12 tbs heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a mixer whip the butter until it is fluffy.
- Add in the espresso powder, dark cocoa powder, and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Add in powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. Alternating between the two. I like to add in 1 cup of powder sugar followed by 2 tbs of heavy whipping cream, let it combine and then add the next round of powdered sugar and cream.
- Once everything is added, mix on high for 20-30 seconds.
